I was gonna read the untold story of Japanese game developers but I think I'll read manga instead

So as some might know, I was recently let go from my latest job. This was an unfortunate, but typical development when it comes to my superiors treating me poorly.

In any case, I like to turn negatives into at least somewhat positives. Thus, with the meager scraps I did earn last week, I feel comfortable in getting a new figure. Unfortunately, I'm undecided between Utaha Kasumigaoka (maybe minor :nws:) or Anastasia. I get paid on Friday, so I will make a decision then. Whoever has the most votes by then I will get. I'll probably get both at least sometime down the line, however.

He was posting a metric ton of Umi fan art for like 2 1/2 hours straight (almost all of them being art dumps). Like 20 or something straight posts of basically nothing but Umi fan art, which understandably annoyed Endorph and the thread was closed.
